Show Notes

First Baptist Athens offers this podcast of Devotions for Lent. Today’s devotion is offered by Elizabeth Marston. It is based on the story in Genesis 21:8-21 when Hagar and Ishmael are sent away; the scripture is read from The Common English Bible. The devotion begins with music provided by Sarah DelBene, playing “What Wondrous Love Is This,” arranged for flute. Now, lay aside everything else for the next few minutes . . . allow the music to settle your soul making space to listen for God.
